More Young People Lining Up for Government Jobs

More college and Grad school graduates are opting for federal employment than ever before. A recent survey of undergrads showed that government jobs were chosen as the first choice out of 46 given options. The main cause of this surge is no doubt the struggling economy; young people entering the work force want to believe that their jobs will be secure. Another factor of government's recent popularity could also be Obama's campaign to ignite an interest in public service. I don't think I would want to work for the government right out of school, but it's encouraging to think that government agencies will be receiving fresh, new perspectives on old issues.
